We are honored to celebrate National Ken Block Day, a day dedicated to remembering the life and legacy of the legendary Ken Block. This year we'd like to mark the occasion with something truly special — the premiere of a brand-new video that revisits one of the most iconic collaborations ever seen in motorsports. This project dives deep into the incredible friendship and creative partnership between Vaughn Gittin Jr. and Ken Block, offering an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at their journey and the unforgettable result of their shared vision: the 1965 Ford Mustang Hoonicorn.

 

For those who remember the first time they saw “Gymkhana Seven: Wild in the Streets of Los Angeles,” the Hoonicorn needs no introduction. With its raw power, aggressive styling, and unapologetic attitude, the car became an instant legend. To enthusiasts this was a bold representation of what happens when imagination, engineering, and driving talent collide. But what many fans haven’t seen until now are the stories behind the scenes — the laughs, the late nights, and the relentless pursuit of something that had never been done before.

Through personal stories and archival footage, this new video captures the essence of Ken and Vaughn’s collaboration: two innovators united by a shared love for going fast and having fun while doing it. It's more than a build — it's a symbol of what makes the automotive community so special.

 

Ken’s impact on motorsports, car culture, and the entire community is impossible to measure, but his spirit of innovation, fun, and pushing limits continues to inspire us all.
